Background:The
East Africa Trade and Investment Hub (the Hub) is the U.S. government’s
flagship project under the presidential Trade Africa initiative, launched in
2013 to boost trade and investment with and within Africa.

The Hub partners with East African
and U.S. businesses to attract investment needed to transform the East African
private sector into vibrant global trading partners.

competitiveness, encouraging the diversification of exports beyond natural
resources, and promoting broader, more-inclusive economic growth will lead to
more food secure and resilient East African communities.

The goal of the Hub is to deepen
regional integration, increase the competitiveness of select regional
agricultural value chains, promote two-way trade with the U.S. under the
African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) and facilitate investment and
technology to drive trade growth intra-regionally and to global markets.
